How do I give my Porch more curb appeal?
Comments (13)Would you be able to continue the same fence thats along the side ...to the front of driveway wit gate..and fence all the way to front of house. I would paint wood fence the same beige color as the house, and grow ramblings roses on it in pale pinks and whites. I would put a nice accent gate in the fence to enter but off by the driveway to the right and not directly in the front of house..and from the gate make a narrow rustic stone path to the house entrance. Landscape along the way to add some flow and charm. I like the beige colors and sage greens. I would not keep the maroon color but go softer in a sage palette. The gate and slight walk to the front door will add some mystery. It would not be expensive to do. I would also plant tall flowers and vines or rambling roses against the front of house too. I think English Country manor house is what I would go for as overall look and feel. Look at books on this to get your ideas for materials and plantings and color palette. It would look beautiful....See MoreHow do I design my dining room so the chandelier fits with decor!
Comments (101)The problem with the room is scale. The chandelier is slightly too large for the room (which can be a good thing - I often design with oversized chandeliers) and the furniture is slightly too small for the room. You really have to go one way or the other. If you want to keep most of your furniture, paint the chairs and the buffet with chalk paint (possibly charcoal) but (and this is really important) replace your dining table with a much larger and stronger piece. A reclaimed wood piece that is at least 6" wider than yours and longer if you have the room. I would really like to see your 4 chairs on each side of the table and get 2 larger upholstered chairs for the ends. The added weight will work with your chandelier much better. When you are accessorizing think chunky! your mirror above your buffet is delicate - there is a large rectangular one around (I see it everywhere when you type driftwood furniture) that is made of small pieces of driftwood. Rustic and warm. Your chairs are just about perfect. They are the rustic look you need - just the wrong finish. Drapery rod - 1 1/2 - 1 3/4" rusted finish rod that returns into the wall and real Belgium linen drapes on rings. (Best buy EVER - Ikea real linen in creamy off white for $49.00 a PAIR. Good luck!...See MoreBest Homemade Gift?
Comments (24)When I was twelve, I was walking by my dad one day and he grabbed my wrist. He grabbed it and then kissed my hand like a gentleman would. I thought nothing of it until a few weeks later, Christmas. He presented me with a beautiful watch. He grabbed my hand to measure my wrist and had the jeweler make the gold band that small (I was a skinny girl). A few months later my dad passed from lung cancer. I still have the watch and the memory....See MoreHomemade quilt on Ikea Melbu Rattan bed???
Comments (23)unwantedadvice It was fun getting away for the day/evening even if it was work related and over an hour drive away. It's always nice when you get an amazing free meal and booze. On the white bedding issue, we cannot do white here. My husband sweats like crazy at night. Probably partly why he is so skinny. Everything stains yellow so no white for us. That bedding was just to sell the house. It was a duvet I bought to go over our old ugly comforter we had for over 10 years. I also hate duvet covers just as an fyi if anyone mentions that. tippie64 One of the other styles I had bookmarked is a circular style. It wouldn't be exact to this if I do a quilt, but a similar idea. http://blog.connectingthreads.com/wp-content/uploads/mango/assets/content/blog%20photos/PebbleRoadQuilt.jpeg What I like about this is that it reminds me of penny rugs. So I like the concept, just not the entire execution of it. I've been thinking about the room and I am going to wait a little while longer before deciding either way. I'll still keep my eye out for bedding (totally wrong time a year for comforters though) and in the meantime I'll get started on my kids' quilts that I said I'd make after two of them decided they wanted to share a room. Thiers will be simple quilts though in jean, red and white....See Moreksrogers
